# Step 5-8

{% hint style="success" %}
Vibra-TITE VC-3 Threadmate ([Vibra-TITE](https://wcproducts.com/products/threadlocker)) is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.
{% endhint %}

## Step 5

Press the 72T Rotation Gear in by hand. If necessary, use a dead blow hammer to lightly tap it in.&#x20;

The Wheel Module Drive Shaft must be installed through the bottom side of the 3/8” Rounded Hex bearing.

| Gear Ratio Kit | 2nd Stage Driven Gear |
| -------------- | --------------------- |
| X1             | 20t                   |
| X2             | 18t                   |
| X3             | 18t                   |

{% hint style="info" %}
The Wheel Module Drive Shaft was updated to get rid of the #8-32 bolt and printed cap. If your shaft has a tapped hole, refer to the v1 Drive Shaft image below. If your shaft doesn't have a tapped hole, refer to the v2 Drive Shaft image below.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Step 6

The 1/4” ID x 5/8” OD bearing can be pressed into the Wheel Module Fork by hand. Only the Fork that aligns with the Wheel Module Drive Shaft needs a bearing. Once the bearing is in place, use the #10-32 x 1 3/4”L bolts to install both forks into the module.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you ordered your Wheel Module Forks after 5/16/2023, make sure an updated Wheel Module Fork is used on the side with the 15T Bevel Gear. The updated Wheel Module Fork will have a pocket designed to fit a 1/4-20 Nut machined into the outside face.
{% endhint %}

## Step 7

The Main Drive Shaft and corresponding gear should be installed before the 3D Printed Rotation Pulley. Use the #4-40 x 7/8”L bolts to install the 3D Printed Rotation Pulley.

| Gear Ratio Kit | 2nd Stage Driving Gear |
| -------------- | ---------------------- |
| X1             | 26t                    |
| X2             | 28t                    |
| X3             | 28t                    |

{% hint style="info" %}
The 3D Printed Rotation Pulley was updated to strengthen the part and allow for longer bolts. If your 3D Printed Rotation Pulley does not have a step at the bottom of the integrated spacers that nests in the 72T Main Rotation Gear, then install the pulley using #4-40 x 3/4"L bolts.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do NOT overtighten the #4-40 bolts, as this will crush the 3d printed part.
{% endhint %}

## Step 8

For the Non-Flipped configuration, the output shafts for the motors must be shortened for clearance. If you do not want to cut the shafts, we recommend installing the Motor Spacers.&#x20;

For all configurations, the motors are installed using #10-32 x 1/2”L bolts. The pinions are bolted in using #10-32 x 1/2”L bolts.

{% hint style="info" %}
For the Drive Pinion refer back to the [Ratio Options](/welcome/gearboxes/wcp-swerve-x/general-info/ratio-options.md) page.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
When using the X3 Ratio Set for the Standard Configuration, the Drive Pinions on a 14T CD will collide with the Top Plate.&#x20;

To prevent this, the options are:&#x20;

**1) (Recommended)** The pinion can be cut shorter by a 1/16" and spaced down to the end of the motor shaft.&#x20;

or

**2)** The hole can be drilled to 0.875" to provide necessary clearance for pinion.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wcproducts.com/welcome/gearboxes/wcp-swerve-x/assembly-instructions/standard/step-5-8.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
